Answer

(a) 9 classes. (b) Class 1: lower class limit = 0 upper class limit = 0.9 Class 2: lower class limit = 1.0 upper class limit = 1.9 Class 3: lower class limit = 2.0 upper class limit = 2.9 Class 4: lower class limit = 3.0 upper class limit = 3.9 Class 5: lower class limit = 4.0 upper class limit = 4.9 Class 6: lower class limit = 5.0 upper class limit = 5.9 Class 7: lower class limit = 6.0 upper class limit = 6.9 Class 8: lower class limit = 7.0 upper class limit = 7.9 Class 9: lower class limit = 8.0 upper class limit = 8.9 (c) Class width = 1.0

Work Step by Step

(a) Just count the number of classes: 9 (b) For each class, the first number is the lower limit and the second number is the upper limit. (c) It is the difference between two consecutive lower limits: $ 1.0-0=2.0-1.0=3.0-2.0=4.0-3.0=5.0-4.0=6.0-5.0=7.0-6.0=8.0-7.0=1.0$
